| episode_narrative | The combination of spring tides and a persistent onshore flow produced pockets of minor tidal flooding along the Delaware coast, in Delaware Bay and tidal sections of the Delaware River. In addition, strong winds created heavy surf. One of the Delaware Bay entrance buoys was unmoored and washed ashore on Dewey Beach. The high tide reached 6.63 feet above mean lower low water at Breakwater Harbor (Sussex County). Minor tidal flooding starts at 6.7 feet above mean lower low water. The high tide reached 7.20 feet above mean lower low water at Reedy Island (New Castle County). Minor tidal flooding starts at 7.2 feet above mean lower low water. A cold front moved through Delaware early on the 17th. A large high pressure system moved across New England on the 17th into the Canadian Maritimes on the 18th. Meanwhile, a weakening low pressure system moved from Illinois the morning of the 17th into Indiana during the evening of the 17th. The pressure difference between the two systems produced a strong onshore flow. Tides were already higher than normal due to the recent full moon. The low pressure system weakened further on the 18th and the high pressure system moved offshore. This reduced the onshore flow. |
